A very gluten free and low-carb Ground Turkey Skillet with Green Beans recipe that is definitely easy to make and tasty meal for your family dinner.

How are you today? I hope you had a wonderful long weekend. In Canada, we had the best weather for the Labor Day in years!! Oh Gosh, what a beautiful long weekend. We are all surprised how the weather has been so good, hot and sunny.

Weather specialists are saying that this fall and winter will be warmer than last year and I am very excited for that because last year winter was REALLY cold. So, we enjoyed this nice long weekend at my parents-in-law’s cottage close to Montreal and it was a much needed 3 days vacation.

I’ve been working a lot and to be honest I feel so tired. I was able to relax, sleep, eat good food, chat and enjoy being with my nice and nephew.

I wish we could live closer to my in-laws because being around family is the best thing we can wish for, and I only realized that when I moved to Canada while the rest of my family stayed in Brazil. Family is everything. It is where you feel safe, strong, loved and yourself 😉

We also went to Pierre’s cousin’s wedding, which was so lovely and very emotional. The rest of the family was there and we had lots of fun dancing and at the photo booth. My husband Pierre is really a party animal. He danced a lot and all his aunts wanted to dance with him… hahhahaha. He danced even with the kids. So funny! I wish he could allow me to post the videos I made of him dancing like crazy on this post. I didn’t even try to convince him because I know we would say something like “are you kidding me, right?!” hahahha!

Another Ground Turkey Recipe that you’ll love! It’s made with zucchini and sweet potato.

Talking about this post, for today’s recipe I brought to you something so easy to make that I was even thinking of not posting because I was a little embarrassed how easy it is. It is SOOOO easy guys that even your 7 years old kid will be able to make it. I am not kidding at all.

For this recipe, I used a extra-lean ground turkey, green beans and a delicious and flavorful homemade tomato sauce which makes all the difference on this dish.

What I love about this recipe is that you can eat as a meal, no side dish is necessary or you can have it along with some fluffy rice and more roasted root veggies. Hum… this Ground Turkey Skillet goes really well with roasted veggies. I love it. This recipe is also really good to freeze for another day. Enjoy!

I made this tonight for dinner. My husband and I are trying to eat healthy. We really enjoyed it. I was nervous at first because it was my first time making it and I didn’t know if he would like it. But he liked it so much he had seconds. It was a hit. I used fresh green beans too. Loved it!

How long do you leave this on the stove? Mine has been on the stove what seems like forever without the green beans cooking/getting softer. I wish I would have cooked the green beans seperately. We shall see…!

Update! I honestly had low expectations for this dish just because my green beans were taking notes a while to cook. My view has completely changed as it’s finally done and it’s delicious! All in all it took about 30 minutes to get my beans a little softer, I think I would roast them separately next time, but this is still very very good. Best dish with ground turkey I’ve tried. Yumm!

I made this a few weeks ago trying to find a new recipe to use some ground turkey. My 5 year old has asked for it some many time since then I had to buy more ground turkey! I made a quick version of my husband’s homemade spaghetti sauce and it turned out great! Cut back on the red pepper for the little mouths that don’t like spicy foods. Slated for dinner tonight!
Thanks!
